Can we all take a moment to appreciate Mandy's attention to detail... the pork is shredded into strips to match the beansprouts, chives and red bell pepper, so that the entire finished dish looks neat and harmonious. It's all part of the "instinctive" part of Chinese cuisine passed on almost imperceptibly if one learns in a family, it's not explicitly explained, but how food is cut and matched is part of the old Confucian ideals for harmony and balance even in food. As a contrast, think about a sweet-and-sour pork dish (e.g. gu lao rou) where the meat is cut into cubes, battered and deep fried, so the accompanying vegetables are cut into squares to match.
Hi Mandy. I made this last night, following your directions to the letter - no substitutions or omissions. Instead of serving over rice, though, I made Mandarin pancakes and turned this into mu shu pork, rolling the contents up and eating them by hand. It was almost harder to make the pancakes than the stir-fry. But it all came together and was incredibly delicious!
Love your recipe! I am not Chinese but love Chinese food and I find your recipes easy to follow and your instructions are detailed and clear. Exactly what I need. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!❤️
Delicious Mandy……. Lover of sprouts here. I eat by the bowl full sometimes with a heathy dressing. I’ll definitely be trying this recipe with chicken and with Prawns (shrimp). Always look forward to your recipes. Thankyou.
This is what I had for dinner tonight Mandy. Thank you because it was so tasty I overate! I am never disappointed with your recipes and they are never a waste of time. I am so grateful for you because sometimes I just need a little inspiration. I find your recipes more healthful than the restaurants offerings which is just so nice. Thank you again Mandy.
This recipe is an absolute delight! Mandy's attention to detail is incredible-matching the shredded pork with beansprouts, chives, and red bell pepper adds a beautiful harmony to the finished dish. Chinese cuisine's subtle attention to harmony and balance in food presentation is truly fascinating. 🥢💖 The result is not just tasty but visually appealing too. Can't wait to try this recipe-it's definitely going on my to-make list! 😋👌
I was gifted your WOK and it has changed my cooking. Also I have been obsessed with it and how easy it is to maintain. Thank you for showing so many great recipes.
I made this recipe last night for dinner and it was not only delicious but also looked fantastic in the serving dish - colorful, glistening, and attractive. Thank you!
Dear Mandy, you are such a delight and I love your videos. They are so detailed and easy to follow. Thank you for your wonderful recipes and sharing your wonderful culture. I so wish I could afford your wok etc. But being a single mom on disability makes it hard. But I do make your cultural dishes and they are amazing! Thank you from my daughter and I 😊.
Thank you for another incredible video. You are amazing and extremely talented. Looking forward to your next amazing video. My wok is anodized steel which I’ve been successful.
Thank You Mandy. Watching you prepare this dish gave me instant hunger pangs 😊😊 As always, it's good to see you and your well presented presentations.....Michigan
Mandy you need a cookbook, a foodnetwork show too, you are awesome. The title recommended by me is "Hello Everyone!" :D either way thank you for your channel. Your recipes have always worked out wonderfully for me :)
This looks so good. It's hard to find fresh bean sprouts around my home. The stores worry about bacteria and illness. I go to an Asian grocery store for my goodies. It has everything you would ever want.😁
It looks yum yum and easy to do. Vegetables here in Manila are expensive. Thank you for sharing this recipe, nutritious, but fewer ingredients. God bless you dear! 💕🫰
I love this dish, I love bean sprouts, I use them in a lot of my Asian cooking…. I would prefer this dish with hokkien noodles or thin egg noodles… yumm
Chinese stores sell the fresh beansprouts by the bag. As a sub, go for crisp chinese (napa) cabbage julienned, or any other crisp vegetable like sliced young green beans, mooli radish peeled, sliced, and julienned, or just some frozen peas, or sliced and diced into 1inch squares green, red, and yellow bell peppers. If the veg is taking a little more time to cook, add a tablespoon or two of water, and stir fry until it evaporates away. The steam will bring tougher vegetables to al denté.
Hello Mindy!!! I have asked this before. What is your name??? Everyone is saying Mandy but that's not what I'm hearing when you say who you are. I want to hear it from YOU. Is it Mindy or Mandy??? Anyways ...your recipe sure does look super delicious...Great Video!!!...🦋
Usually you use either wine/acid or baking soda for tenderizing, not both. Using together they sorta cancel each other out (pH wise) reducing tenderizing effectiveness, as well as getting all fizzy (baking soda + vinegar volcanoes anyone?). Baking soda can leave a weird taste which might be apparent in a very mildly flavored dish like this. It's more used for heavily flavored Sichuan sauce kinda stuff. The slightly sweet/tart flavor of wine complements this dish better.
@@SoupedUpRecipesthank you so much…I’ll give it a try. Here in Hawaii we can buy pork cut into strips for stir fry…but your strips are even thinner so I’ll have to try cutting like you.
you say about homemade dishes meanwhile I only eat this when ordering from chinese restaurant because I can eat it. for some reason any type of soy sauce, cooking wine, rice vinegear etc. i get allergic reaction. They might even use the same but I don't get reactions. I often feel so tempted to cook your dishes but when i can't handle 99 percent of the sauces / marinade which is essential , same with garlic , paprika, chilli etc. then there is no use I guess :(
Are they mung bean sprouts or soy bean sprouts or does it matter? Recipes all the time say "bean sprouts", then when I go to the Asian market I never know what to buy. Thanks for the help in advance ❤.
She's not going to date you bro. Have you ever tried seeing women as actual people without being a creep to them? Because you should start doing that, actually.
